Im surprised that Discovery are prepared to risk on a tarnished rider.
Especially such a high profile one like Basso.
after having spent years vehemently denying and standing by
Armstrong's innocence in doping matters, they employ a rider with a
cloud of suspicion and whirlwind of doubt surrounding him... very strange.

and lets not get started on Frankie Andreu...ooops!
